How well did Declan Rice play for West Ham United?
Rice has established himself as an important player for West Ham and is one of the better holding midfielders in the Premier League.
The 21-year-old led by example, was a force to be reckoned with in the middle of the park, passed the ball nicely, and also hit the crossbar with a header.
Rice had a pass accuracy of 91.5%, won three headers, took 59 touches, attempted two dribbles, made three tackles, three interceptions and one clearance, and put in two crosses.
So far this season, Rice has made nine appearances in the Premier League for David Moyes’s side.
